I was wondering if anyone in Canada has got a long-term disability for UC? Is it possible? because it seems impossible to keep a job while struggling to keep everything under control!

My skin problems are starting again - it seems I cannot eat half of the things people normally eat because of the UC, and the other half - because of intolerances? Is it possible to get such bad skin rashes (soooo itchy) as a result of food intolerance/allergy?(I know there's difference, but knowing that doesn't help)

You may be able to get CPP as long as you've worked long enough to have paid into it, your doc would have to fill out a booklet of forms (that's the process) or you could also see if your current employment benefits has long/short term disability as well. Good luck.

I can get LTD from work, but only after having been off for 4 months. In the interim you can file a medical claim from EI if you've exhausted your sick leave from work (or if you don't get paid sick leave). I think it depends on what your employer offers.39 year old womanDiagnosed October 2008
